Abstract

L'invention concerne un récepteur conçu pour détecter l'occupation de canal d'un canal radio. Le récepteur comprend un circuit d'oscillation configuré pour générer un signal d'oscillation. Le circuit d'oscillation est configuré pour faire alterner une fréquence du signal d'oscillation entre au moins deux valeurs de fréquence différentes. En outre, le récepteur comprend un circuit de conversion descendante configuré pour générer, sur la base d'un signal radiofréquence reçu et du signal d'oscillation, l'une d'une composante en phase et d'une composante en quadrature d'un signal de bande de base. Le récepteur comprend en outre un circuit de traitement configuré pour calculer, sur la base de la composante en phase ou de la composante en quadrature, une puissance de signal du signal radiofréquence.
